IMPHAL, January 3: Dr Ng Bijoy extended appreciation of the activities of DESAM volunteers who are trying to bring quality education in state, but added they needed to refrain some exaggeration just to achieve their demands.
He said this in his speech as chief guest in the 13th foundation day of Democratic Students`™ Alliance of Manipur held at Centenary Hall, Manipur University today under the theme `refraining politics from government`™s role in education`.
He further lauded the role played by DESAM for the uplift of education and other related fields in state.
Manipur has a separate educational policy but it has changes time to time. The focus of this policy is to encourage students he said, adding the government is very concerned about the issue of improving quality of education in the state.
He said it is very unfortunate to learn that some Board and Council officials have been practising politics and irregularities in declaration of merits list of students.
He speculated that this could have been on account of pressures or else corruption of these officials. This is unfortunate as such practises kill the faith of meritorious students, and such a predicament is bound to lead to further decline of quality of education in the state.
He appealed to the officials of the Board and Council to allow assessment of examination answer papers by concerned subject teachers. In the current trends irresponsible teachers are being allowed to asses answer scripts of subjects which are not their own subjects. This practice can severely impact the academic careers of meritorious students, Dr Ng Bijoy Singh said.
Very often the misdeeds are not at the behest of politicians but carried out by authorities of the Board and Council themselves. He also regretted that bureaucrats are these days practising politics and not leaving it for politicians.
Deputy Speaker MK Preshow Shimray expressed that DESAM, AMSU, MSF are taking vital roles among the valley base students striving to uplift the education sector in the State. These students union are struggling to reach educational facilities to those schools existing in valley.
He however said it is unfortunate not much attention has been paid to fates of schools located at hills districts. So students of hill districts need physical and moral supports from these students`™ organisation to get balance development in education sectors in both hills and valley.
President of DESAM, Moirangthem Angamba; Dean of Students`™ Welfare of MU, Prof RK Hemakumar; president of All Zeliangrong Students`™ Union, Assam, Manipur & Nagaland, Pamei Tingenlung; president of KSO general HQ, Paothingthang Lupheng also attended the function.
